Lee's Hawaiian Islander is a Chinese restaurant that opened in 1974 (building was built in 1962). There are tiki masks mounted on rock-lined walls with a weeping water effect, an outrigger canoe hangs from the ceiling, and there is a special hut booth. An upper balcony holds more tables with bamboo framing. Drinks are served in mugs, and there is a flaming pu-pu platter. Mr. Lee can be found there often, happily playing host and greeting patrons.
There is another Lee's Hawaiian Islander location in Clifton, but it closed due to a fire in 2003.
In 2023, the property with liquor license was put up for sale. However, as of late 2024, there have been no takers and the restaurant is still open.
